2.1 On PTS - Fae Yule Test Today! 11/30 Starting @ 3PM Pacific

[Mortt]

I ran a few IAs with a few people including Tacitus and gave him some feedback but I found out some more.

I had fun sleding but when I came back after doing the IA a great big ugly level 44 death rift spawns right where the Fae Yule portal in IPP is. Having forgot to mentor back up they killed me.

We are going to temporarily turn off this location as a rift spawn spot for the duration of Fae Yule. Thanks for joining us on PTS!

While we're talking about events, Autumn Harvest Ambersaps items are STILL not on the world event merchants.

This is fixed for 2.1 - Autumn Harvest items will be on the merchant.

[Martimar]

Hi Dev's

Can you please confirm that you're fixing PvP... Notably healing...

Is there going to be an official patch note list for what's current on the PTS?

Thanks

[Saia]

I'm prototyping it out, I'll let you all know if it works. Right now it's looking positive.

We need pvp events same time with pve events with rewards like in pve ( mounts/gear/costumes/titles etc).
It is time for devs to begin the work and make events for ALL players , be them pvp or pve....!!!!

Quick list of what's new for this year:

Fae Yule Whitefall
Sledding event in Iron Pine Peak
Snowball fights in the cities
Fae Yule themed Instant Adventure in existing zones complete with changing village.

Fae Yule Dimension Item Merchants
New Pets
A New Mount
Cape
Large Bag
Essences
Helms

If you want to see the new Dimension Items on PTS Dev Talleen was nice enough to set up a public dimension called "Fae Yule Tavern".

the new mount will be bought from the event merchant with snowflakes like the previous year or it will be a rare drop?
Thanks

The sled idea is really awesome... I did it several times because it was a blast. Although I will admit that I was really disappointed that I couldn't sneak out of the area on the toboggan! I was hoping to ride that all over the place! XD

[Whayyel]

Hm, many old events had "Touch of the <Plane>" type items, but I haven't seen one for a while. How are we supposed to complete the set, and get the achievement, if we missed out the first time?
(For reference, Fae Yule #1 gave the Touch of the Storm)

Fae Yule 2012 also gives Touch of the Storm.
I assume you'll be able to get all the Touch items with elements relating to the annual events quite easily cause they are annual, and perhaps you'll get the other Touch items from the epic saga/cult quests as well as perhaps future world events that are connected to that particular element.

any photo from the new pets and the cape?

You rock.

Someone give Mortt a beer, a raise, or some unnatural hybrid of the two.

I'm not sure if this is a bug but everytime I enter sanctum I recieve a mail from Grandfather Frost.

Grandfather Frost
Joyous fae Yule!

Greetings Ascended! Someone handed me this gift to give you. I can't reveal who, of course, that would be telling!

Attached is a Fae Yule Gift.

Tested this again. I left sanctum and went to silverwod and waited 30 mins and after about a minute of entering sanctum I recieved the mail again.

I think it would be interesting to experience the winter atmosphere of the capitals most strongly through a snowy ground or snow on the sets of capitals.

In addition, it would be really cool to have a dimensional script for snow falling from the sky (as in capitals)

And why not propose exploits that are not related to the warfront ?

[Tyrna]

I love the IA that builds the snow village progressively and then you have to defend it. The fact you get different dimension items from doing it is nice too. One of the invasions spawned a couple of yetis that glitched out and ran away from the wardstone instead of towards it.
